I have only tried this flavor, but it is really delicious. Taste exactly like cinnamon bun with raisins. As for the remake. I bought a PS4 in December just for it. It is amazing. First time playing an action based RPG, so I went in open minded and I am loving it.

no arms this week, this is how the program turns out and the way I am running it. Also, taking today as another rest day before hitting week 5. Still don't feel fully recovered.
